Air Force aircrews train on special simulators that use special military operation scenarios, Russian Air Force Commander Colonel General Sergey Kobylash stated. In addition, the commander noted that interactive automated training systems and simulation complexes are being introduced to improve the level of theoretical training for personnel. "Modern training tools make it possible to shorten training times and improve the quality of personnel training," Kobylash added. Every year on August 12, the Russian Federation celebrates Air Force Day. Since 2015, the Air Force has operated as a key component of the unified Russian Aerospace Forces.
